"today in the bay" bob redell is on scene talking to

investigators. bob, tell us exactly what happened here. >> good morning to you, peggy. this happened about five hours ago, just after midnight. two vehicles you can see one behind me across almaden expressway. they collided and under other circumstances this scene would already be clear because it did happen five hours ago. the driver of that suburban, that vehicle, that first vehicle you just saw is in such serious condition. police officer with san jose police tells us that their condition is life threatening and they're afraid this person might not make it, that they might die. if that happens, they would have to bring in an accident death investigation team out here, so that's why they're preserving the scene. because if that person doesn't survive, they'll need to get a new group of investigators out here hence why they don't want to clear the scene yet. that vehicle to the left of the black suburban is in serious condition, but that person's injuries are not life

threatening. both drivers were the only people in the car and both men and that's all the information san jose police has about them right now. they do not know if alcohol was involved. that would be part of the investigation to determine whether or not that was the cause. as far as your commute goes, part of the intersection is open and the part i'm talking about is the southbound direction on almaden expressway. it is reverse commute, you can get through coleman. it's the northbound direction shut down and then coleman going across almaden still shut down, as well. as far as when they're going to reopen this, they don't know because they're waiting to find out whether or not the driver of that black suburban is going to make it. bob redell, "today nin bin the " developing news in redwood city. piecing the events leading up to a deadly sail boat crash. the boat was taking part in a race last night when it struck a buoy.

somehow ends up in the central valley in the middle of an orchard. he was exhausted and lots of cuts on his skin. poor little fellow. we'll tell you what is next for this little guy.

well, good morning to you. 5:24 right now. maybe many of you will dip out of work a little bit early today and head out to at&t park and see the giants game. nice to get a sweep against the dodgers. we are hoping that's exactly what happened. after two decades a classic italian sports car known for its flashy appearance in "the graduate" will make a return. very sexy car. the italian automaker will seek 100 sports cars to the u.s. the company calls it affordable and says it is a super car. the starting price there, about

francisco. you can check them out and the giants. dodgers versus giants, third game of the series. first pitch 12:45 and wind will likely play a factor and could pick up that ball and could carry it out towards mccovey cove. we're looking good there. temperatures else where will hit the mid-70s inland for today. 75 degrees in the south bay and peninsula at 73 and we'll hit about 78 degrees out in the east bay. meanwhile, 65 degrees is the high in san francisco. let's check your drive across the bay area. big bay area, but he has you covered. >> it is the big bay area. the bay bridge, we're picking up the volume, christina, not a big concern. typical pattern here at 5:26. let's look at the maps and we have one crash reported southbound 880 at dixon landing road. sounds like everything is moving out of the lanes and chp has not yet confirmed that. the speeds has maintained at the limit over the last five minutes, though. over here, 280 has maintained a little slower drive through cupertino.

so, i will track that, no injuries or incidents reported through that area, but, again, a blip that has not cleared. over here is not cleared either. coleman road and the crash at the intersection has everything except for the southbound side of almaden expressway closed. it is 5:27. we do continue to follow that breaking news, as mike had mentioned, the southbound intersection closed this morning. he'll join us with a live upd e update, next. the finishing touches being put on that field there. we'll tell you about it, coming up. [ mom ] hi, we're the pearsons, and we love chex cereal.

in the burned out rubble. meanwhile, the coast is clear this morning. you can see that from the golden gate bridge. we're clear over the bay, as well. this is our emoryville camera. temperatures will drop off today and then we'll ramp those numbers up for this weekend. we'll show you the timeline for the changes for where you live in moments. >> christina, we're watching for those changes. meanwhile, an issue, a crash south 80 over here. we'll get you around that incident, as well, coming up. let's take you live outside san francisco here as we look out on this thursday, april 17th along the embarcadero. really beautiful start as we get closer and closer to the weekend. this is "today in the bay." good morning to you, thank you for joining us. i'm peggy bunker. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> breaking news we're following this morning. two major commutes affected by

this overnight crash. the intersection of almaden expressway and coleman is closed as police are still at the scene. "today in the bay" bob redell just spoke to investigators and joins us live with the very latest information. good morning, bob. >> good morning, laura. the traffic investigator just arrived out here and what we're gathering right now, the condition of one of the drivers is not looking very good. this happened just after midnight last night, one driver was going down almaden and the other across coleman when the cars collided. you can see there in the distance a black suburban that ended up against the pole. the other car in the field to the left. both men, the only people in the cars. they're in the hospital and one is in serious condition and the driver of the suburban that is in really bad shape. so bad that police aren't sure he's going to make it. that's why five and a half hours later this accident scene is still here.

the officers are trying to preserve the scene and they don't want to move the cars because if the man does die the department would have to up their investigation. so, they don't want to move anything out there that could hinder that investigation. hence the reason why this part of the intersection is still shut down. it's not a complete shut down of the intersection. you can still go southbound on almaden but coming northbound that direction is closed and going across on coleman is still not possible. i want to send over to our traffic anchor and, mike, what is the best way for commuters. this is a big commute area, what is the best way for people to get around this? >> you talked about one direction of almaden expressway and we'll get you oriented. bob, on the scene just south of highway 85 and we'll talk about the rest of the stuff on the south bay freeways. just south of highway 85. almaden expressway towards coleman and the northbound side heading towards 85, that's

what's closed. the same thing back and forth across the area. blossom hill is your alternate that will take you east to west and santa theresa from coleman up at blossom hill to get you around the scene or up to highway 85 and 87. that is probably the way you go anyway. on the other side, meridian, as well, we just got the update that someone as a result of that crash has died. that means the investigation will have to continue. bob follows the crash and the reasons why that happened over there and the scene. i'll follow the traffic for you and that closure will continue for at least a few hours. we'll send it back to you. unfortunately, just getting word that one of the people in that accident has died. now, that there is a confirmed fatality at that accident with bob redell. also developing news in redwood city people are looking at what led to a deadly sail boat crash there. one sailor died and two others hurt when their boat hit a buoy in a race last night. christie smith joining us with the latest in this

investigation, what happened here, christie? >> just a horrible accident. details still coming in and one person is dead and behind me this is the sail boat that was involved in the collision. this is a 42-foot catalina sail boat called the bella. on the front, you can see that the mast of it is completely snapped off. a short time ago out here we did see redwood city police come down to the marina. basically stationed here all night and they are the ones leading this investigation. the coast guard says that before 7:00 last night that sail boat collided with a marker buoy and a channel outside of redwood city. it happened during a race that was sponsored by the sequoia yacht club. this is kind of a casual race that we're told that they do weekly. the boat became entangled and the mast snapped and that's how the person died. other boats, aapparently, had trouble reaching it. that's because the water was so shallow at the time, a usgs survey boat was out here and actually helped two people

onboard. they tried to help them, but, again, one person has died. in all we're told that five people were onboard and those that weren't injured helped free the boat and were able to help bring it back in. we have not yet learned information about the person who died, again, redwood city police are the lead agency in this and we do have colonize to them. as i hear from them, i'll let you know what they had to say. chri chri christie smith, "today in the bay." firefighters in san francisco say it could take days to pinpoint the cause of a deadly fire. this cell phone video shows those flames just shooting through a window and a roof at the sunnydale public housing development. firefighters found a 32-year-old woman dead inside. her 3-year-old son was rushed to the hospital. where, sadly, he also died a short time later. the building was built in the

1940s and people who live there say it is in poor condition. in san jose firefighters will dig through the rubble of our former kntv studio after search dogs hinted they may have found human remains. a homeless man who lived in the building said at one point more than 40 people lived in that abandoned building. yesterday, another homeless man was arrested on suspicion of starting that fire. and happening today, a live look at levi's stadium where a key piece of the new stadium will be rolled into place this morning. the new grassy turf will be rolled out today. look at this video shot in livingston in mercer county where the bermuda sod was grown. the specific type of grass requires half as much water as the average turf and also holds its green color longer and grows back the fastest. the san jose earthquakes will be the first to test out that sod on aprilugust 2nd.

if a player plants his cleat, it stays together. the company supplying the sod is west coast turf. while you don't know that name, you know their work. grew the gasz that sits at o.co and at&t park. supplied turf for eight super bowls and candlestick park. the man who grew that grass is a 49ers fan. he says from now on every game he watches will look a little bit different. >> i want some of that for my yard. grows back fast, less water. >> we'll take it, christina. >> you know, west coast turf, they originated in palm desert where i'm from, which is the desert. they really know how to grow that grass without using a lot of water. that's great news. as you know, we're in a drought here in california. 53 in san francisco and let me tell you the sons of that family, every single one of them, gorgeous. i know you two know some families like that where all the

280 interchange reopening after overnight road work and slower moving vehicles as tractor trailers and other rigs clear the area. the flow at the connector is moving nicely for passenger vehicles. right here we continue as we tell you bob redell is on the scene and someone has died as a result of the crash. north almaden expressway and coleman is closed. meridian also north towards 85. that could be 90 minutes, hopefully by 7:00 they'll reopen. southbound 880 at milpitas we have a crash there. fremont heading into milpitas. no slowing past the scene, but watch for flashing lights. the tri-valley at speed. from dublin a little slow coming and the bay bridge, itself, back up for the cash lanes has started. we'll send it back to the desk. >> all right, mike, thank you. it is 5:39. violence and unrest in ukraine this morning as john kerry meets with both sides to try to bring peace to the region. a live report coming up next.

details. good morning, tracie. >> let's start with the meetings in geneva to bring the violence to an end. secretary of state john kerry is there with russian foreign minister sitting down together at the same table for the first time since all of this broke out trying to find a solution that meeting has been going on for hours. we understand they may be coming out in the next 15 minutes or so or some reports say it may last a little longer. we're waiting for an update on that. meantime, more violence this morning in your ukraine where we've seen a lot of the demonstrations going on. pro-russian groups trying to take over ukrainian cities. three pro-russian militants were killed. 13 were injured. some 60 or mow were detained after they tried to take over a military base in ukraine. this after there was violence against some of some ukrainian troops yesterday. now, it's really all up to diplomacy. what is ukraine going to put on the table and will it appease

the russians and will vladimir putin keep out of ukraine. the troops in crimea when they were fighting for crimea they were russian soldiers. initially we were told by russia they were not russian soldiers. >> so, what is russia's end game here? they don't plan to back down until they feel their concerns are addressed. >> their concerns are for those russian speakers and russian people who identify with themselves as russians who live in ukraine at the eastern portion right near the russian border. russia wants some input here. when president putin talked to president obama just a few days ago on monday, he talked about federalism. in other words, having veto power. russia having veto power over what happens in parts of ukraine. ukraine bringing to the table, we're waiting 15 minutes from now to see if they made any progress. >> sounds good, thanks so much,
